Bluesman, if they don't match the new label nor the one replaced they are probably fake. That being said there can be printing errors from Habanos, but in the case of Monte's the errors are usually limited to being off center a bit. The test as always is in the smoke or if you don't have the experience smoking them, then the dissection may be in order.

Try to do it privately if possible. It is not hard to be had now days when buying. A lot of suppliers have to purchase on the gray market and while most of the time the cigars are legit, sometimes they get had as well. The old advice is still the best, deal with LCDH authorized vendors when possible otherwise know your source as best as you can. Your guy may want to make it right when he realizes he got had, before you go after him in public. Just my 2cents. I am sorry you got burned.

Follow the provenance if possible. That guy knows where he got them and so on, there is obviously a faulty source. And Bluesman who ever you got them from needs to make it right with you, he may not even know a fake when he comes across one. Sorry you got burned on this, never good to see.

damn dude that sucks, that is why i am always scared to buy like that anymore. Mostly when you spend good money on bad sticks.
